president obama took a miter step in easing that debt but that is just the beginning. this student loan bubble is eventually going to burst. what i would like to emphasize is this is the beginning of what might be a 5 and 15 year process of transforming the way our government deals with questions of inequality and wealth. this is not an overnight fix for anything. >> will they have the same impact that say that the party ion?had on next >> i am not sure that they will have much more impact in the long run than the two party. we are at a point where the power of great wealth has distorted democratic processes in the country and left large numbers of people insecure facing an uncertain future. that issue will be the dominant issue in american politics for the next 15 years even though action on it might not take place immediately. >> what about the style of protest? has it the point where congress is paralyzed and you have to sit in a tent to get your voice heard? >> after president kennedy was elected, he totally ignored the civil rights movement until dr. king organize

we see a field of people who are able to carry this banter and it too go against president obama. we have some good talent i just think that we have an over exposure problem with too many people being critical rather than actually saying to these. >> overexposure you mean when people find out when you are wrong? >> no, this means that when you have too many debates, especially a good debate is not necessarily good television. what we have here in america is good television rather than good debating and we really need to let these folks talk about the issues that really matter. our homes, our jobs. the price of gasoline that goes and our car every day. those are the things that the american people want to hear about. >> i agree with you but every time these people speak is when these things come out like when michele bachmann said that the founding fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery even though they have slaves. she expects us to believe that washington looked out of his window every day and said, why won't you leave? this is preposterous. >> i wonder whether he was really so

barack obama won that. i have lots of other arguments with obama. but basically, does he have the capacity to do great things? i think that his trick is to use conservative means to get liberal ends and i think that it is possible that his politics could change the argument in the united states. >> spike lee called his election a seismic shift and now he has been quite critical in america up. it has moved from yes, we can to will we ever. >> yes, we can is a slogan. having your fist can only do so much. the focus here first and foremost is on bp. the federal government will do what they can, i hope, to clean this up as quickly as possible. screaming and yelling is a theatrical direction that can be made, but expressing outrage is a very small part of it. >> abroad do think we are still caught up in election fever and americans have moved on? is that why he is not seem quite as the hero that he was? >> no man is a hero to his electorate after a while. you have got to govern in the hard facts and there is no harder fact that hundreds and hundreds of g
